[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 969689, member: 64108"] Pick a caliber off the list. [URL="http://www.barnesbullets.com/products/ammunition/choose-your-vor-tx/6607-2/"]VOR-TX Rifle | Barnes Bullets[/URL] I would go with one of the popular, readily available ones like 30-06 because you can find multiple bullet weights/manufacturers(even at Walmart) in case your gun doesn't like one. I have shot deer and pigs out past 400 yards with a used Savage 111(Gunbroker for $275) in 30-06 with factory Barnes 150 grain. Two of my friends were impressed and did the same thing with the same results. Any decent scope in the $300 range will do. I don't think you need to spend $2k to get a rifle that can hit a one foot target area such as an elk at 600 yards, AKA a 1 Minute Of Elk rifle.
